The P900, 950 and 1000 are absolutely amazing cameras. The camera has strengths and limitations. If you want full frame quality from this camera, it is not for you. If you think that you can go no lower than APS-C sensor then it is not for you. But if you want one of the most fun cameras ever to preserve your memories of things you have done in your life … then this is the “ant’s pants” of all cameras. The ZOOM in these cameras is just fantastic, almost beyond belief. I actually shot a picture of Pluto with my P900. It is not a NASA quality shot but to do it with a $600 dollars camera other than a multi-Billion dollars space programme is truly, truly remarkable. Cheers, and get creative.
Couldn’t have said that better myself Brian. Thanks for leaving a comment and the thoughtfulness attached to it. It really is a ripper of a rig and still strapped to my side wherever I go. I’ve got a bunch of cool shots that sneak their way into my 4wdriving videos as I travel around Australia, in just those moments where that long lens captures something that you wouldn’t otherwise get. Go well.
I've had my P950 for about a month and I absolutely love this camera. Great for birding. Can't wait for Spring to photograph insects. Your video had a lot of variety. Thank you from the mountains of Virginia!
You probably dont care but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
Hey Trevor. Thinking of buying this camera and watched loads of review videos. Have to say that yours is one of the best. And most natural and friendly. Thanks for taking the time to make and upload it. Greetings from the UK. 👏👏👏
Thank you very much! I'm ordering this tonight and I thought I'd watch just one more field test. The zoom and image stabilization are awesome! Thank you!
Trevor this made me smile over and over. Thank you. I recently purchased this camera and this is why. Of course I'm curious whether you were in Manual mode for these video shots. Also I wonder if I will have a hand as steady at the long end. So many of these shots are stunning and just fun. As you say in the description I love your vision or POV and celebrate how you use both the limitations and the capability of this tool to bring your vision to us. So the family is surfing and you maybe get a quick hike in to capture the scene from various distances. I'm sure this added to everyone's enjoyment afterwards to celebrate the day. Sparks much creative thinking for how this tool could bring family together. But what I smiled most at were the wildlife shots. Do birds smile? You captured them at ease being themselves. Beautiful creatures set to calming music. Even the creative stills playing with light and color demonstrate creativity and skill. Well done. I realize it's so long ago know you might not recall what modes and settings you were using. But I would love to know your favorite video settings for the big beach shots. Again, I can't thank you enough for just demonstrating the value of sharing experiences with loved ones.
Thank you Timothy. What a beautiful comment you’ve left and much appreciated mate. I love that you noticed almost what I was thinking as I was putting the video together. Really is an amazing camera and I’m still so stoked with it. Just checking in from an off grid trip and I’ll have to look at those settings when I get back because I can’t recall right now, ha ha. I know there was a mixture of manual and different auto modes as I was working through all of them in the initial stages. It certainly is an easy camera to pick up and just pump it out in auto. Go well mate, enjoy your journeys.
Thanks Shadow Banned, love that name by the way. Yes crazy light hey, we live in an amazing place. Have you checked out our tour vids we have just done. Have a look at the sunsets in the Cape York series, Episode 1, 2 and 6 have the most incredible sunsets, it was like a sunset competition, haha. Thanks for tuning in. 🙏
Mine arrives on Wednesday, and I totally can't wait to play with it and see. I own a DLSR Cannon 4000D, and there are so many lenses u need to switch out for the same distance. So, thank you for this video! It makes me more excited for it to arrive.
I have been looking at This camera, I just seen the surfing video, and Now not only want the camera but one of those surfboards that come out of the water?! That's awesome!
Thanks for sharing , I was checking to see if the camera was suitable for the me , as a general use camera, your video convinced me that it is take care
20:20 I know its cool to find good angles with sun flares, but I wouldn't do it to long directly in sunlight, seemd on the limit here, filming 5+ seconds directly can be harmfull for the camera , just so you know ;)
Hello and thank you for this upload. Really nice to see a down to earth at home review instead of these set up table reviews for once. I just bought this camera 2nd hand, and i have never owned a camera nor touched it much. i bought this because its one of the best all around cameras u can get. u got zoom u got macro, u got 4k and its the size of a minivan :D what more can u ask for. I havent received my camera yet, but im wondering, how difficult would u say it would be to learn on this camera compared to a cheap nikon for example ?
Hey mate, apologies for slow reply. You will love this camera. There are some more good RUclips vids of how to use it. Trial and error is terrific as the long lens opens up so many possibilities. Hope you have well and truly received it and are loving it. THanks for the support and comment.
Even if you cut this video in 1080p you gain a lot by upscaling/exporting the video in 4K before you upload this to RUclips. With the RUclips compression in HD, you basically ruin the whole video, especially in a camera review. This needed to be a 4K video at least. Just some advice for the future.
i imagine the next model has a 1inch sensor, hopefully secretly. considering that the P950 came out in 2018, maybe a new model will come out in 2022, so I'll try to be patient so that I don't buy this 🙂 well done, by the way I used to have such parrots in aviaries and I admired them, and you just go out😪🤪 greetings from Croatia 🙋♂️
I owned one for a week then sold it, The zoom is great but once you get bored of taking pics of the moon and start looking at the image quality it's not good, It's also not weather or dust sealed so not really practical for wildlife photography, The low light images are terrible also, I've now got a lumix G9 and love it,
I just bought one and thank you so much for displaying what this camera can do! I'm into aviation, so hoping to get some great photos. Could you tell me what video setting you started off with, please? Thanks again.
Thank you. Yes, just started on Auto and worked through different settings to see the difference. The video setting gives some great options, more customisable. I have been filming in 1080p a lot lately for smaller file size, when perfect clarity not needed. You can hardly tell the difference. Still loving it.
@@trevorhendy1 Thanks. I started taking some photos on auto yesterday and it's great. Looking forward to using it a lot more. Good luck with your ventures with the camera 👍Thanks again for the tip about 1080 video and storage saving. 😀
Thanks ❤ How about the 950 vs 1000? On terrestrial targets MAYBE it doesn't matter if it's 3000 or 2000 mm. But check out those Astrophotos made with the P1000...! That's a huge difference! Can't decide... 😢
Yes completely understand. I think it is such a personal thing hey, I wanted the 1000 until I considered carry size, the 950 was launched right when I needed it, compromise between 900 and 1000. Still love the camera, does the job for me. I have the occasional, ‘aah, I’d love the 1000 right now’
Great review though would have been more influential if recording some videos from birds in different distances to see the real power of the camera in terms of vividness and zooming. Also, is it good at macro shooting? Thanks again.
Can i ask you a question please? I bought a Nikon P1000 2 weeks ago, one thing I noticed is that the LCD screen appears a bit "grainy". I tried to reset the camera but it still looks grainy! Is this normal or should I be concerned?
Hey Blerton, apologies for slow reply. Hmmm, No, I think mine has been really clear comparatively. Maybe get a local camera repair guy to have a look. I haven’t heard of that issue before. GOod luck with it, it is an amazing all round camera and the zoom is such a beast.
Yes, not great in low light, but not terrible if you work within a few parameters. definitely a sensor issue but also there is a balance with file size etc for such massive zoom. I go back to my old DSLR’s for that. It has it’s own niche for sure and is a really good one camera to take away if you don’t need low light mega performance. I just had a big trip away and there were various moments when only that zoom could get the shot, particularly when we had the recent full moon eclipse, nailed it, or even just distant birds or wildlife. 1 year after purchase, still a big fan.
The P1000 and the P900 are better for different things. The P1000 is huge and much more expensive than the P900 yet people like the P900 because of it's size and zoom. Yet, the P1000 had better features like RAW. So I think they wanted to provide a middle ground there. Just my theory.
Big THUmbs up from Belgium ! I really want this camera, better in every way then the P1000(has only a weak 40+ X zoom extra ;) ) Its a bit still to expensive for me, I will try to buy a Lumix FZ82 with 60x zoom. Its a step back frommy FZ-300 I know, but will keep both. I still have my good old FZ-100 '2011- best Bridge camera back then) still very capable (sound capture was great and had 30 ips full resolution capture -still now its rare to find that performance) but the screen looses connection, can't put it even closed so that it works, thats a pitty, cause all rest works perfectly, but eye viewer has difficulties to work because it thinks screen is always on, eye viewer goes off then :( Sometimes its on depends how close screen is closed.
If I remember correctly, these things were so horrible! One time my sis was jogging with her friend on the beach crosswalk and saw a man with the camera pointing out to the women's playing volleyball and she saw a girl ass on his camera display so this thing is amazing but still it been used in a bad way.

You are a very kind and pleasant person, and the camera is excellent👍 I will also buy it
The Nikon P950 is the only camera that I use. It works great for me. Great video. ❤❤❤
I have a P950, Still on auto. Your video was the best recommendation for this camera. Thanks for this!!!!
Thank you very much! I'm ordering this tonight and I thought I'd watch just one more field test. The zoom and image stabilization are awesome! Thank you!
🙏💎
Thank you for this wonderful review... I agree, NIKON P950 is a wonderful bridge camera... I love it...
Great review, covered every bit I was looking for. Thank you for sharing! 😊

Just ordered the p950 can't wait, great results
Just ordered mine for birding! Lovely review!
I was waiting for the upgraded P1000, but I think you changed my mind to getting the P950. AWESOME VIDEO 📸
The P950 is the same as a P1000 in a smaller lighter package with only slightly less zoom and a cheaper price tag...Its a great option
The shot at 15:17 blew me away love that Australian light.
Thanks Shadow Banned, love that name by the way. Yes crazy light hey, we live in an amazing place. Have you checked out our tour vids we have just done. Have a look at the sunsets in the Cape York series, Episode 1, 2 and 6 have the most incredible sunsets, it was like a sunset competition, haha. Thanks for tuning in. 🙏
I’m picking up one of these amazing cameras next week! Thank you for the informative and fun video! It was relaxing indeed. 😊
Beautiful shots..I have one and I love this Nikon P950..thanks for sharing 👌
Thank you. Happy shooting!
Thanks for the great review, I enjoyed watching it to the very end. Cheers
🙏💎
I bought this Nikon P 950 a few days ago. It is awesome, I just love it.
I love seeing people happy getting something hey wanted!!! I really want this cam!
Mine arrives on Wednesday, and I totally can't wait to play with it and see. I own a DLSR Cannon 4000D, and there are so many lenses u need to switch out for the same distance. So, thank you for this video! It makes me more excited for it to arrive.
Stoked for you, hope you have had fun with that beast of a super zoom.
Excellent video!
Thank you and have a great day.
月を手持ちでこれだけ撮れるって素晴らしいですね。
動画の画質が思っていたよりきれいなので、動体は静止画ではなく
4K動画で撮ってしまってそこから切り出してしまうのも策かもしれないですね。
とても参考になりました。ありがとうございます。
Thank you, much appreciated and yes I agree.
I have been looking at This camera, I just seen the surfing video, and Now not only want the camera but one of those surfboards that come out of the water?! That's awesome!
Aah yes, foil surfing. Check out the Takuma range or any for that matter, crazy fun.
Nice work Trevor, looks like a great unit
Mano, seu vídeo ta sensacional ! Obrigado por compartilhar tantos detalhes sobre essa camera !

Aah, thank you. It is just a lot of fun with anything that capable hey. Happy snapping.

Thank you, yes may be worth the wait as technology keeps coming together. Loving this camera still. Greetings from Oz
@EssexGamer panasonic already has, but 600mm max why couldn't they just want to
I owned one for a week then sold it,
The zoom is great but once you get bored of taking pics of the moon and start looking at the image quality it's not good,
It's also not weather or dust sealed so not really practical for wildlife photography,
The low light images are terrible also,

Thanks again.
Yes, could only fit so much in. Thanks
Looking for someone to capture sports footage from the stands for my kids ..where does this 900 series fit?
Good

Some reviews mentioned a limitation with low light pics. What is your opinion?
I owned one and sold it,
Terrible for low light
Yes, not great in low light, but not terrible if you work within a few parameters. definitely a sensor issue but also there is a balance with file size etc for such massive zoom. I go back to my old DSLR’s for that. It has it’s own niche for sure and is a really good one camera to take away if you don’t need low light mega performance.

I have absolutely no clue why they would release p950 after p1000 and price then nearly the same. I guess Nikon regretting pricing the p1000 so less.
The P1000 and the P900 are better for different things. The P1000 is huge and much more expensive than the P900 yet people like the P900 because of it's size and zoom. Yet, the P1000 had better features like RAW. So I think they wanted to provide a middle ground there. Just my theory.
Only if Nikon Coolpix p 950 or p1000 have 40 or more megapixels and more sharper and stability
Yes I guess that is where they would go next, but imagine the size of the files, haha. 🙏

hi bro i am from india
Welcome to Australia.
Sir i need this
You might change your mind want to sell it ,16mp , thought it was good but not sure about it still blurred pixels if crop or closed up
Done subscribe
If I remember correctly, these things were so horrible! One time my sis was jogging with her friend on the beach crosswalk and saw a man with the camera pointing out to the women's playing volleyball and she saw a girl ass on his camera display so this thing is amazing but still it been used in a bad way.
Yes can totally see that, not good in the wrong hands. 👍🙏
I stopped watching at "soul coach"
